All India Rank (AIR)

All India Rank (AIR) refers to a candidate's position relative to all other candidates who appeared for a competitive exam in the entire country. It indicates how well someone performed compared to all participants, with Rank 1 being the top scorer. AIR is calculated based on the candidate’s obtained marks or percentage, adjusted for the overall performance of everyone. This ranking helps institutions determine eligibility and allotment for admissions or other opportunities, serving as a standardized measure of a candidate’s relative performance across the nation.
